'The DMC-FZ35 excels in manual controls and low-light video footage, and it offers near-perfect automatic settings, unique scene modes, and a slew of imaging options'
'In a surprisingly light (0.9-pound) frame, the 12-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 provides an 18x-optical-zoom Leica lens (27mm to 486mm) with good optical image stabilisation. '
'Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FZ35 is quite simply one of the best fixed-lens cameras out there for both stills and HD video. '
'with better photo quality, slightly faster performance, and a wider angle lens, the ZS3 does improve upon the older model.'
'The Lumix DMC-ZS3S is very much a "set-it-and-forget-it" model; it's dead simple for a novice to take a good photograph, because the camera is packed with complex automated features. '
'The Lumix DMC-ZS3 is certainly one of the most advanced compacts on the market, and one we truly enjoyed shooting with.'
'I had no problem slipping the Panasonic ZS3 into my back pocket and shirt pocket when I headed out to shoot'
